A friend
gave me a set. I find these i4ulenses perfect for a back up
pair of readers, that can be kept in my wallet/

I am
very happy with the i4ulenses! They've freed me from having
to remember to bring the *&^%$ reading glasses everywhere.
If I really have to read some fine print, I just pull them
out of my wallet, or off of my key chain. I do get some strange
looks, and comments too, but I have a feeling that older people
are impressed with the lenses, and younger people by my ability
to be unperturbed about wearing something so radically ...
unusual? uncool looking? (I'm probably only aware of this
uncoolness factor because I have a teenager.) They are a great
product. I did put a small scratch in one pair, but after
6 months or so, they are doing better than any pair of readers
I own. And as inexpensive as they are, it is no big deal to
keep a spare pair in the drawer. (My work has been eating
my life recently, but I've vowed to spend more time in the
mountains in 2010, so get back to me again in about 6 months
and I'll let you know how they work for winter camping/skiing/climbing.)

Like
so many of us, it seems that I just woke up one day and could
no longer read the fine print on a menu in a dimly lit restaurant.
No worries, I thought, I'm sure there's something that I can
just stick in my wallet to help me out. Maybe a magnifying
glass shaped like a credit card. Or a tiny monocle that I
could slip in there. I even went so far as to think about
wearing a pair of pince nez on a cord around my neck so I'd
always have them with me. I tried all three of these solutions
at one point or another, but found them all lacking. The credit
card sized magnifying glass was too awkward. The monocle was
expensive, thick and got scratched. The pince nez on a cord
worked great, but made me look like a prissy librarian. At
over six feet tall and with a deep, booming voice, that just
wouldn't do. So I put my children onto the problem. I told
them that their Christmas gift to me would be the effort they
would expend scouring the Internet for a better solution.
Your lenses showed up under my tree about five years ago.
My teenage children were tickled when I unwrapped them and
literally jumped up out of my chair. "I knew somebody would
figure this out!" I exclaimed. And so you have. I keep
extra pairs in my briefcase and in my glove box. When someone
I'm dining with sees them and tries them ("Remember, push
them out away from the bridge of your nose") I grab a new
pair from my briefcase or my car and give them as a small
token. I have given away pairs to business associates over
dinners in London, Singapore, and Sydney. All were delighted
and have become loyal customers. Keep up the good work and
God bless.

I am
delighted with my new i4ulenses. I put a pair in the pocket
of my Kindle cover, and I'm good to go!

I happened
on your company's product by accident. Was reviewing one of
several hiking gear list on the Gossamer Gear web site (Glen's
Gear List - "Piute Pass...") and happened to notice i4ulenses
reading glasses weighting a mere 0.2 oz. Thought they would
be ideal (small, light, no moving parts to break, and sturdy)
to carry as a backup backpacking, keep in the car glove box,
etc. Assembling my kit for next spring, summer, and fall in
the Cascades. Best wishes.

There
was a discussion of i4ulenses on a forum at backpackinglight.com
regarding an ultralight alternative to conventional reading
glasses. I've used i4ulenses since 2007, pretty much as regular
reading glasses. I had a special lasic combination done that
makes my shooting eye 20-20 and my other eye capable of focussing
reasonably close. For reading I have to shift attention to
the reading (left) eye unless I'm wearing glasses with no
correction on the left and 2.0 on the right. I've used them since 2003. They are about the lightest, most compact and durable reading glasses anywhere. I attach a string and an alligator clip and just let them dangle when not in use.Thanks for a
good product!

This
is about the third time I have ordered i4ulenses. I bought
enough last time to last awhile. Now my husband lost his hard
case so we are down to 1 pair. He really likes the hard case
so now we will have enough as long as he doesn't lose them.
My brother-in-law told us about i4ulenses about 5 years ago.
They work just great for him. Sincerely,
Carole,
Lake Ariel, PA

We had
similar lenses from ........ ...... and they stop making them.
The bridge was metal and it kept breaking. So I just did a
search on Yahoo and I came across your website. And I had
placed an order about 2 years ago. And now my husband requested
that I order more. Many people have asked us where we got
these lenses and we have emailed the link to your website.

I am
a court reporter and took the deposition of a gentleman that
had a pair. All attorneys and everyone in the room wanted
to know where he had gotten them because we all wanted to
purchase a pair. He couldn’t remember where he had gotten
them so during the break I found the name of your business
on the hard case and passed it along to the other attorneys.
Anyway, I came home and googled your name and found you that
way. Best of luck to you and I wish you the best.

I learned
about your product through a satisfied customer. After having
a minor face lift, the ear pieces of my own reading glasses
were aggravating the temporal stitches. The i4ulenses were
a perfect solution.

Have
used the i4ulenses on a few flights. Couple of thoughts: Lenses
work very well with a headset on – very convenient to put
on and take off, and they cover exactly the area of vision
that I need to be able to read a chart, checklist, etc. Only
minor complaint is that they pinch my nose just enough to
feel a little restriction in nasal breathing – this may be
in part due to it being allergy season. Not a big deal by
any stretch, but just an observation (I don’t think that they’re
too tight since they’re not pinching and are actually quite
comfortable). Thing I haven’t figured out yet is where to
put them when I’m not wearing them – I want them to be readily
accessible and secure. Velcroing the hard case onto the panel
seems like it might be ok, but I am hoping to avoid the extra
step of opening a case or having to slip them in to something
when I put them down. I was contemplating a lanyard to have
them hang around my neck – will let you know how I end up.
Thanks again for making a nice, innovative product.

I googled
for disposable pince nez I think. I bought some a year or
two ago and loved them. It's a great product. I wear contacts
and need readers in the supermarket, grocery store, restaurant
menus, maps while driving and the like. It's great to have
them in my jeans pocket ever ready when needed and not be
bothered wth glasses. Otherwise, what's the point of wearing
contacts?

I saw
a man using them in a restaurant and was blown away. I have
been looking for pince nez for ages...any chance you will
make them larger and with a neck string attached?

Given
your info to several folks who really liked them. They've
saved me several times in stores for reading labels and resturants
in dim light. Love the product.

Hello,
I've been using the i4ulenses for about 3 weeks now, and am
extremely happy with them. I tried to carry them in my wallet
using the hard case, but the case is a bit too thick to be
carried in the wallet. I drilled a small hole in the case
(where the lenses weren't - obviously), threaded a small cord
through, and put them on my keychain. Sorry I don't have a
picture for you - I'm currently in between cameras... It works
well, and is so convenient. Also I carry the lenses in my
wallet using the pouch. Overall, I couldn't be happier with
their size and convenience. I can go to restaurants and read
the finest print menus, or read the finest print maps when
in the mountains, and all without worrying about keeping track
of a pair of bulky reading glasses. Thank you very much.

Just
a quick note to tell you how pleased I am with your i4ulenses,
your service and your company. Your products are not only
unique, but extremely functional and durable as well. I have
ordered many i4ulenses on several occasions, not because they
broke but because I gave them to friends and family members
who threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't! And the hard
plastic cases do a great job of protecting them in my pockets,
camera bags, briefcase, glove compartment, fanny pack, etc.
The service your company provides is amazing. I placed my
last order online late Sunday night and at 10 AM the next
morning I received an email telling me that it had already
been shipped!
Good product, good price, good service, good communication
- I couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks for continuing
to demonstrate how companies such as yours continue to go
out of their way to satisfy their customers.

I think
this might be my 3rd order for pairs. I need reading glasses
and I wear i4ulenses while doing motorcycle events. I do grand
tour events, one this year is to go to as many towns that
end with "ville" that you can. There are about 200
riders doing this season long event.
I use the i4ulenses so that I do not have to take my helmet
off to put on glasses to see. Also if I have to read any printed
data, or can't read my GPS screen clearly I can snap them
on my nose, see what I need, and then re-store them in a custom
pouch I had sewn on the side of my tank bag. A great "gadget."
Mark Tuttle in Rider Magazine talked about them a few years
ago in his editorial column of each month. The last pair I
broke the nose piece when I pushed to hard on them to put
them back in the pouch.

I do
a lot of outdoor activities, backpacking, fishing, target
shooting, etc, so I was looking for a pair of unbreakable
reading glasses. Ive broken many pairs of reading glasses
while out in the woods. I was web surfing(Yahoo) and came
across your product. An ultralite backpacking site gave the
i4ulenses a rave review, so I jumped on them. My order arrived
today and I tried them on asap. Needless to say they exceeded
my expectations. They will be perfect to carry in my pocket
to use while reading my map and GPS while hiking. I am an
engineer by trade so I look for innovative well designed practical
gear for outdoor use. Your product fills that bill perfectly.
I am overjoyed with your product and very impressed with your
customer service.

We went
to lunch yesterday and the guy who paid the bill whipped out
a pair of i4ulenses. We all said, I want a pair of those!
He gave us the web site address and we ordered 8 pairs.

I have
been wearing Eyes For You lenses for several years now. I
have purchased quite a few pairs, and keep them in my shirt
pocket, my wallet, on my desk at both my university and at
home, and in strategic locations around the house. Friends
are always amazed at how light they are and how I can see
over them for distance without taking them off. I'm a walking
advertisement for these practical and useful reading glasses,
and my life and work are made much easier because I have them.

I received
my order today and everything appears to be in proper condition.
They are easy on and off, sit way down on the end of my nose
so I don't have
to remove them too often, and cheap enough so I don't have
to worry about them
falling and my stepping on them. As
to the high-power lenses, I've already tried them and they
are great. I bought them because I work at a job where I handle
lumber all day. I usually get a splinter or two every day,
despite gloves. Most of those come out very easily. Sometimes
I get a deep splinter that takes a finely pointed pair of
tweezers and very good magnification to remove it.
I had
one like that today, and it was in my thumb base all day,
waiting for me to get home so I could tweeze it out. Your
lenses happened to be in the mailbox today so I put them to
the test. I was able to do the job all by myself this time.
I used to have someone else hold a magnifier over my hand
while I tweezed the splinter out. Now I can hold the magnifier
on my nose, so to speak, and don't have to rely on someone
else to help me get the splinters out of my hands. It seems
to me a pair of these ought to be in every First Aid Kit on
the market.

I just
ordered 10 i4ulenses to give them as presents to my friends
(62+ years of age). I live in a community in Boca with 1600
homes. No doubt this will lead to more orders. I got one from
a friend from San Diego who orders from you as well.. He gave
me a gift..... Used them tonight...loved them!

I publish
Western RV News & Recreation, where i4ulenses were advertised
for a time. When I first looked at the sample you sent, I
thought they were silly. Later I had Lasik eye surgery, which
corrected my distance vision but made my close vision worse
- I knew of this trade-off before I underwent the surgery.
After the Lasik I started using the i4ulenses, and soon found
them to be indispensable! The hard case made a huge difference
for me... now I can keep them in my pocket, instead of a case
of full sized readers or clumsy foldable ones. So instead
of carrying two pair of glasses, distance and readers, I now
only carry i4ulenses.
I recently lost a pair while traveling, so am stocking up
on replacements. And the new high power ones are a great idea
for general magnification - instead of having to have magnifying
glasses everywhere.
I have received many comments on the lenses. Most folks start
at silly and
end up at very clever!

My son
got the lenses in a gift bag at a movie opening in NYC. I
love them. I keep them in my wallet. I always wear them at
the beauty parlor because they obviously don't get in the
way. Every time I've worn them in a salon I've been asked
where they come from.

I have
been a satisfied customer for years. I carry no other eyeglasses,
and invariably when I pull these out at a restaurant or meeting,
people ask where they can order for themselves.

but I have also ordered for others as well.

Hi Pat.
Thanks so much. Sometime ago I got several pairs online. The
other night at dinner, I pulled a pair from my wallet to read
the menu and was asked about them. I told them I would find
how to order. For the first time, I noticed your web site
name on an unopened pair. Great product!

Love Them!
I have given your information to several folks who really liked
them. They have saved me several times in stores for reading

Love the product.
Thanks,

Hi pat,
I was at a sushi bar last week. There was a guy setting next
to me getting ready to pay the bill and I saw him put your glasses
on. He explained to me how they work and where he bought them.
My wife and I thought that's a great idea, so I asked him for
the web address, which was wrong. But he gave me the i4u to
work with: it took about 30 min to find you and here I am. The
reason I bought so many (9 pairs) is to spread them around the
house, work, wife, and co-workers.
Thanks,
Carlos, Simi Valley, CA |
I am a
seed bead artist and without your magnifying lenses I would
probably go blind. I have given away about 6 pairs and recommended
your company to Fire Mountain Gems (catalogue beading supply,
one of the largest in the world) Your product belongs in that
catalogue and web site! I have attached some of my work...I
could not deal with those tiny beads without your wonderful
product.
To see more of my work goes to
www.firemountaingems.com
and
go to the Gallery of Designs and do a search on LORNA
Most sincerely

A few
years ago I was passing thru the check out line in a local drug
store and noticed the i4ulenses by the cashier..looked interesting
so I picked a pair. They have proved to be invaluable. I keep
them in my coin purse or wallet, so I never have to say, "Oh
I don't have my glasses, I can't read this menu, this bill,
etc."
Since I always have my wallet or coin purse I always have the
i4ulenses..some of my friends really liked them when they saw
them..and it is surprising how many questions I get when I put
them on in a public place to read something..seems everyone
would like to have them. Thanks,
J. Smalley, CA |

Just
a quick note/pic to say that your i4ulenses fill the gap,
and that I've added them to my short list of essentials that
I carry everywhere. Thank you,

Hi,
I am from Sweden but currently staying for some weeks in San
Diego with my family. We travel quite a lot and a couple of
years ago I found your lenses at the Thursday plantation in
Australia. I bought 2 pairs at once and since then I have used
them nearly every day. As I said , we travel rather much and
no matter where we go around the world, when I am wearing my
lenses people are always fascinated and asks about them!! And
often I say that I should have a stock with me to sell when
people ask. Well, now when we are here in the US I expected
to find them everywhere but I havent seen them in one
place and people are as interested here of them. A shop owner
wrote down the name of them the other day to see if she could
have them in her shop here in Carlsbad SD.
Anyway, I am going to order some new ones while we are here
but I also wonder if I could buy a small stock when I am back
in Sweden , could you ship it there?
Thank you for a great product.

Hi Pat,
Well, sorry I don't have any pictures, but I can tell you I
am completely satisfied with my purchase. The first order, my
wife grabbed one pair for a gift, and when a friend of mine
saw them, he wanted me to order a pair for him. He placed his
pair of 2.5 power into the hard case and put them into his wallet
with his credit cards. I suspect when his friends see his, there
will be more orders coming from the Coeur d Alene Spokane area.
The glasses are great, fit right onto the tip of your nose and
are great for reading restaurant menus, maps, recipes, and so
on. We will be taking ours with us on backpacking trips. I will
keep a spare pair in the car. I have already
used the magnifying pair to remove a blister from my finger.
Thanks again,
Jim Loy |
Hi Pat
-I did receive the i4ulenses you sent by air mail. I think that
using PayPal could benefit both you and overseas buyers. Great
product by the way - most satisfied.

I have
received my lenses today, and have caused quite a stir among
my friends. They all want to know how to get them! They solve
my problem of never having any glasses with me when I am out.
Menus, newspapers, friends photos, etc. are all now accessible
to me. Normal glasses were too bulky to carry around easily.

I'm very
excited and am a new "reading eye glass wearer" but
my husband has been wearing them for almost 2 years now. He
is FOREVER losing them, forgetting them, misplacing them. It
seems I spend half MY life looking for HIS glasses! LOL
We live rurally in eastern Ontario and like to travel some of
the back roads here as we've recently moved from BC so we are
continually looking at maps and having a hard time. That's why
I ordered so many pairs! We can keep them in the truck, van,
office, etc. and always just have them handy. GREAT product!
I also breed rare red and apricot Standard Poodles and bought
three pairs of the magnifying ones for things like "pulling
porcupine quills" or searching for something imbedded into
a paw, etc. I found your glasses on another website when I was
looking for luggage. I don't remember the exact site, but it
had other great travel ideas and I was fortunate enough to find
a few things I thought were fantastic. I will be travelling
to India in January as well, so I know that anything that is
compact is appreciated.
Thanks again for a super product...can't wait for them to arrive
and I'm thrilled to know they are going to be available thru
Lee Valley Tools. They have some really terrific products too,
so if they are going to be carrying yours, you know they MUST
be a quality item! Take care, have a GREAT weekend and thanks
for the email.

Thank
you Pat, and thanks for the tips. I love your product. Youve
solved a centuries-old problem, that I assume most people have
when they get older. I also think the problem is exacerbated
with more people getting Lasik procedures. We 40+ ers may not
need glasses for most activities after Lasik, but reading labels,
menus, etc. requires some help. Ive tried the cards in
the wallet, and various iterations of folding Mr. Gadget
glasses, but the i4ulenses is light, durable, cheap enough to
lose, and good enough to use. They are not metal, so airport
detectors are no worries, and they can get wet or dirty without
a crisis. Best of all they take virtually no space, so they
can always be handy without competing for pocket space. Thanks
for solving the problem! I ordered the extras so I always have
one to give away to a friend!
Sincerely,
Randy from Minnesota. |
Hi, I
just received my glasses in the mail from you today. They are
absolutely fabulous. I have been losing and breaking my glasses
for years and with these I can just stick them in my wallet
or pocket and never worry about breaking them. These are a great
investment at twice the price or more. Thanks so much.
Sincerely,
P. MacElderry, TX |
Hello,
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your i4uLenses.
I received a pair at Vision Expo in Las Vegas (Sept. 2005) and
love them. I keep them in my wallet and they have come in handy
many times. Yesterday, I was at the optometrist office getting
my eyes checked and I showed them to the doctor. He liked them
and is looking into getting them. I also have two coworkers
that are interested in ordering. I know I want to get one of
the magnifier sets. Thanks again for providing such a useful
product. Sincerely,
G. Yerkes, San Diego, CA |
My
husband LOVES these glasses. We live in San Francisco but we
are in NYC and traveling for the summer and he urgently needs
another pair. Do you know where in NEW YORK CITY we can buy
a new pair? He just loves them. Thank you.
Karin R., San Francisco, CA |
I am very
satisfied with your excellent product. I have had to reorder
for the third time. Not because the glasses broke, they are
practically indestructible, but because when I pull them out
of my wallet and put them on the people around me want to have
mine.
D. Bridges, Memphis, TN |
Im
an avid golfer and need reading glasses. I used to carry a credit
card size magnifier to keep my game score, but I had a hard
time holding the magnifier with one hand, the pencil on the
other hand and trying to hold the score card steady. Your lenses
are outstanding! I perch the lenses on the tip of my nose and
have both hands free to hold the pencil and the score card.
I love your lenses.
Peter W. Medina, OH |
I'm ordering
these for a friend. Have mine for several months and just love
them!

A friend
of mine gave me a pair of your reading glasses and I'm a happy
user ever since. A few days ago we took guests from Beijing
China to a fancy Restaurant and I used your reading glasses
to the surprise of everybody. Needless to tell you, then everybody
had to use it.

I always
carry my i4uLenses in my wallet, but I also keep a pair in

like me.

Hi Pat!
I bought i4ulenses after reading the article in Rider... I love
them. I will always have room for these glasses in my pocket.
They are very convenient for reading a map or menu when I travel
on the motorcycle. (I'll be glad to send you a picture of me
reading the menu at Fat Boys Pork Palace, Brandywine, WV on
an upcoming trip)
M.
Dowdy, Lynchburg, VA |
I always
carry my i4ULENSES in my wallet, ready for use when I forget
my regular reading glasses. The truth is, I can't live without
them!! I used to carry a credit card size magnifier, which was
hand held. No comparison, like a model T Ford and a Ferrari.
M.
Pecot, Aptos, CA |
We were
on a trip in our car to the east coast and one night we got
lost. Luckily, I had a pair of 2.0 power i4ULENSES in the glove
compartment and was able to read the map, under some very bad
lightning conditions. I normally wear a very mild magnification
of reading glasses, but I am glad I keep a pair of stronger
i4ULENSES in my car. I'll never leave on another trip without
them in my car.
J.
Lansig, Chicago, IL |
Every
time we go out for dinner, somebody in our party needs to borrow
my i4ULENSES to read the menu. What's so great about the i4ULENSES
is they're extremely convenient and completely adjustable. Making
it very easy for everyone to use them.
M.
Lasky, Santa Cruz, CA |
I
would'nt think I would need them unless I did not have my regular
glasses, and then, I wish I had a pair of i4ULENSES: now like
the Boy Scouts, I'm prepared! - in other words, you need to
buy these lenses before you need them, just in case! I was skeptical
before trying them, but I really could read the instructions
with them on and plan to keep a pair in my purse.
Wendy,
Livingston,TX |
I keep
a pair of i4LENSES in the book I'm currently reading as a Bookmark:
when ready to read, I find the page to start reading and then
use them to read! I keep a pair in my wallet and one with a
stronger power in my car.
Petro,
Santa Cruz, CA |
I keep
the i4ulenses in a pouch on my bicycle to read maps. I love
them - lightweight and they do the job. I'm sure they'll pull
double duty in the drybag in my kayak, in the saddlebag on my
horse, in the daypack I take hiking... well you get the picture.
I'm telling all my adventure buddies. Thanks!!
